Abstract
Methods () for reducing vibrations in one or more rotor blades () of a wind turbine (), when the wind turbine is in standstill conditions are provided. The method comprises measuring () one or more deformation parameters indicative of deformation of one or more blades (), determining (), at a dedicated controller () for an auxiliary drive system (), a vibration of one or more of the blades () based on the deformation parameters, wherein the dedicated controller () for the auxiliary drive system is separate from the wind turbine controller (), and generating (), at the dedicated controller (), an output signal to operate the auxiliary drive system to reduce the vibration. Also disclosed are wind turbines () which comprise a dedicated controller () configured to determine a vibration and generating an output signal to reduce the vibration, when the wind turbine is in standstill conditions.
